The remote-controlled R2-D2 Moving Refrigerator, first unveiled in Japan in June, is a 1:1 scale model that holds up to six 350ml cans, emits authentic R2-D2 sound effects, comes with a 720p video projector, and travels at a speed of 1 kilometer per hour. </p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3019995/consumer-electronics/r2-d2-moving-refrigerator-detained-on-ces-show-floor-due-to-immigration-dispute.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
